This morning the wind had aligned itself with the SW peninsula and as a result wind speeds were much less than yesterday when the NNE wind was funelling around the tip of Cornwall.

Late morning, under strong sunshine, the sea breeze effect turned the wind NE on the north coast, this reulted in much stronger winds there, but tended to kill the wind in Mount's Bay (I had a swim at 11:00 in unbroken strong sunshine & a light breeze.)

Now the fresh NE wind has reached Penzance, there was a rapid increase in wind speed around 13:00. There is now a very marked convergence zone where it meets the lighter easterly winds in Mount's Bay. It's resulting in a line of quite substantial Cu just offshore. It shows up very well on the satellite imagery since 13:00 http://www.sat24.com/en/gb It stretches way off Land's End http://www.landsendweather.info/

Deep blue sky and hardly a cloud either side of this zone.

Weather is rarely boring
